THE REASON WHY.

We are sometimes asked why the
DEMOCRAT does not oftener reply to arti-
cles in the local Mormon papers. The
reason is, they seldom contain anything
worth referring to, meritng criticism or
recurring refutation. We can fill our col
unins with matter more acceptable and
profitable to our readers. We can find
more than enough TO write about without
seeking for texts in the productions OF
any of the dailies OF this city. The Demo-
cRAr does not depend for its existence
upon the continuance OF the issue which
divides the two elements in this Territory.
1t will survive the settlement OF the ques-
ton, and will not perish during the in
terim. 1t is not driven to the necessity
OF waging either real or pretended war
fare upon other papers The daily ex-
change of responsive rot is neither agree
able, profitable nor respectable, nor would
it elevate the DEMOCRAT in the estima-
ton of the class OF readers whose appro-
baton it courts. A gentleman remarked
in our hearing the other day that if the
was to suspend publication, the
-- would also fail to issue on the
following day, because the editor would
have nothing to write about, and rice
versa. The DEMOCRAT isn't in that de-
pendent position. 1t follows the legiti-
mate path OF journalism, resortng to no
mountebank tricks nor engaging in hip
podrome contests to gull the credulous
into the belief that it is striking honestly
from the shoulder in cause, the success
OF which would be the signal for the
papers death, ii not instantly, by the
slower process OF starvation.

THE OUTSTANDING BONDS.

There are about $50, 900, 900 of three per
cent. U. S. bonds outstanding. There is
surplus in the Treasury more than suf-
ticient to redeem them. Some OF the
Democrats OF the country, who supposed
that the Democracy meant what it said
in the finance resolution in the National
platform, are curious to know why this is
thus. Is it possible that the Democratic
Secretary of the Treasury inherits the
tender solicitude of his Republican pre-
decessors for the National banks, which
hold most OF these bonds? These are
the last bonds redeemable before 1891.
Probably Secretary Manning doesn't
think it worth while to bother with the
matter until that time, when the Treas
ury surplus will perhaps be sufficient TO
rake in the entire Indebtedness.

THE PROPOSED JUDICIAL CHANGE

The DEMOCRAT is informed by Secretary
Thomas that Governor West had deter
mined before he left for the East to make
the changes in the places for holding the
sessions OF the First and Second District
Courts, as mentioned in yesterdays issue
OF this paper. The Secretary furthermore
stated that the Governor had requested
him to issue the proclamation before the
expiration OF the old year, he being under
the impression that it was necessary TO
give the notice prior to the drawing of
the jury for the ensuing terms Being
informed, however, by Judge Boreman
that it would make no difference, Secre-
tary Thomas concluded to await the Gov
ernor's return before issuing the proc
lamation. We had no idea that Governor
West had fully determined to make the
change, although it was evident from the
tenor OF his report that he was favor,
ably inclined toward such action. While
we regret that he has expressed himself
so unreseryedly, we are confident that
he will not be influenced by it, should
fuller investigation and consultation with
reliable persons in positions to estimate
the consequences and results, convince
him OF his error.

BRUTAL POLITICS.

The ghoul-like avidity with which
Blaine seeks to profit by the death OF
rival candidate for the Presidency is dis
gusting. The breath had scarcely left
the body OF John A. Logan when Jingo
Jimmy was laying the wires for the cleo
ton OF one of his Illinois tools to the dead
mans place in the United States Senate.
A man so heartless is better fitted for the
position OF public executioner under an
Eastern despotism than to represent the
executive head OF the greatest and most
generous Nation on the face of the earth.

it is to delude poor sufferer into the belief that some worthless hniment will cure rheu- matism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best policy in the manufacture of proprietary ar ticles as in all other matters, and the fact that the proprietors of Athlophoros have never claimed for it even all it's merit would warrant has not a little to do with it's won derful popularity, and the thousands of grateful testimonials received by them show that their policy has been wise as well as right.

THE pA1NrrRs' STRIKE IN HARrFor1

THE PAINTERS STRIKE HARTFORD.
 HARTFORD, April 10.-The Painters union, Knights of Labor, of this city, which week ago ordered a strike, held public meeting last evening for called to order by Master Workman Taylor of the Painters union On the stage were J. B. Quinn. master workman of New York assembly No. 49; A E. Burr, editor of the Hartford Times, and Colonel E. M. Graves. Master Workman Taylor explained the development of the strike and the demand for nine hours as days work and $2 50 as days pay.
 MT. Quinn said that the workingmen had always been slow to come to tine front and were themselves more to blame for the present state of affairs than their employers. Employers are governors more truly than any elected officers, and for this reason organization must continue until industrial free they served no purpose if employers practically forced children to go into the mill instead of to school It was the duty of the other trades to sup port this strike that no house could be built or repaired until this matter was settled. He urged the mento cooperate and do all the work that was to be done, and to do it for 125 day until they had established their point.
 A dispatch from the Central Labor Union was received announcing that special meeting would be held early next week to raise funds in support of the strike.
 A. E. Burr spoke briefly. His position was that the request made by the painters was reasonable ir view of the character of their work, its unhealth and fact that their work was for only eight or nine months in year. He thought the employ CTS would do well to agree to conference and that if they did matters might be speedily settled. He did not think it right to insist that only union men shorld be employed, but as to this there might be circumstances bearing the with which he ! was not familiar

BIRMINGHAM, April 9.-It is quite appar- ent that the action of the voters at the bor- ough meeting held Thursday afternoon is not endorsed by all the citizens, particularly those who will have to pay the bills or the taxes such an expenditure as the coming borough building is to require. At the meeting the voting was viva voce and it is now claimed that such course is illegal. That being the case the appropriation is null and void. It is reported prominent legal gentleman argues the action of the meeting as null because on such question the voting ought to have been by ballot and by check list. This is probably to be 8 bone of legal contention, and it is to-day ru- mored that two of the largest property own CTS have decided to take steps to cause halt on proceedings. The new city edifee may not tower at once, or until tilt has been enjoyed between the conservatives and the advance guard of the borough's enterprise.
